Engineering from first principle tells us that roads where cars interact with unprotected humans should have a limit of 20 mph. I'm not sure if this is such a road but overall, because of physics, speed isn't really up for debate.

Speed is not the problem. Highways are going to be the first sections of self-driving roads. Because they are simple predictable environments, which requires less hardware, where accidents have high costs, liability issues are small, trips

I think it's fine to take it personal, just don't take it out on yourself. Daniel Ek, founder of Spotify, is another Google reject.

Frankly I think discussions like these show how not all programmers are engineers. Cutting down on complexity and ambiguity is a good thing. Because even if you can handle something, when you have teams of 100+ people with 100 000+ lines of

I have a really hard time following this discussion. I assume you are against safe spaces, but isn't that pretty much what you're suggesting as a solution here? How is "insecurity" any sort of measurable standard that do

Hardware isn't the problem and hasn't been for some time, software is. Partly because Android is Linux for chip manufacturers. Once there is something software wise that enough people want to buy and use the hardware itself is, at

In-group behavior is not a good indicator in terms of being a meritocracy. Rather it indicates that people don't expect anyone to scrutinize them. Say there's a summit on internet governance and someone is making a point about thi

As part of the in-group I can think it's kind of funny in a "stick it to the man" kind of way. But considering that much of what let's the NSA do what it does is because of the failure of organizations like the IETF (and

Not that anyone would actually want to have a company in Albania, unless they had to. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Gibraltar, Malta etc. are good options in Europe.

With all due respect, and while you might very well be smart, your story is pretty normal. The MIT alumni I've meet (for which selection bias surely is a factor) has been quite beyond that and very much overachievers (in a positive way

Any idea if it is, or what is, actually patented? The hardware wouldn't be very hard to make if one can live with normal height keys.

The problem I have with these kinds of comparisons is that they seem to compare with Silicon Valley and not European countries that overachive in terms of startup like, say, Sweden which isn't very close to SV culturally.
